Nah, they're long gone. Apart from the other Braidwood's, but he's a krushem kind of bloke, I doubt if he'd keep anything...

Andy if that's not rotten one of us needs to buy it.
That could be a lovely wee truck. Any idea what year it is, trying to find pictures of what it used to look like.

Do you know the very first thing I thought when I saw it? "Oooh, plenty of room for my V8 in there..."

Would be sweet to have an old bus running some modern lump.

I can't figure out exactly what it is either, it's badged "Austin Commercials", no idea of the year.

What model is that?
It defiantly looks similar and appears to share a lot of A40 styling.

I believe it's a Morris MRA 1.

If it's for sale, it's mine! (unless Shirley says no)

Hope my excitement hasn't swayed you in anyway.
I really want that and can already imagine the fun involved in bring it back to life.
So I can only hope Shirley says no.

Looks like you are spot on, thanks

Looks a bit like a slightly older version of this - 1960. Austin 301

I have found them changing hands on hot rod sight for as little as £200 for one that needed welding.

One on ebay failed to make reserve at £865

I have £200 burning a hole in that wee truck's direction?

FFS, technically, I could legally drive it home!
